Howdy all;
 

OK, I can't stand it, I am packing up and going telescoping.  I will post
the directions to the Antennas site one last time at the bottom of this
message.  I know that several folks are planning on being there tomorrow in
hopes of a clear weekend.  I will see you there.

 

Clear skies to us all;

Steve Coe

 

Hovatter Road  "Antennas"  site

 




North

  
This site is 100 miles from central Phoenix.  Drive west on I-10 to the
Hovatter Road exit; that is exit number 53.  This is about 40 miles past the
Palo Verde nuclear power plant.  At the end of the off ramp, turn left over
the freeway and drive over the canal and then the road takes a sharp right
and the pavement ends at a "dead end" sign.  Turn left at the sign and you
will be headed directly toward some radio and cell phone antennas.  After
you pass the antennas the road takes a sharp right and makes its way through
a wash or stream gulley; then the road levels off for half a mile before you
pass into a second gulley.  As soon as you come out of the second gulley the
observing site is on your left.  It is a large desert pavement that is
exactly 2 miles from the I-10 freeway.
